It was then that Neelam’s husband saw a peculiar change in the behaviour of his wife’s pet parrot whenever their nephew visited their house. The parrot even started screeching whenever the nephew’s name was taken. The husband grew suspicious and informed the police who questioned the nephew and found him guilty of the murder. The nephew had planned to rob his aunt, but when he was caught by her, he stabbed her as well as her dog who had started barking. It had never even bothered him that he might be caught because of the parrot who had witnessed the entire crime.
